00:00Thanks for joining us Oli, getting ready for the 2025 season. How are you feeling?
00:06Feeling good, really excited, can't wait to get underway. Definitely feeling really motivated, ready to go.
00:13It'll be good to see how it goes.
00:15Last year you just missed out on a spot in the Senior Grand Final, playing two finals prior to that.
00:20How are you feeling at that time and now about that decision?
00:23At the time it was very disappointing obviously, I was so close.
00:27But it was mixed emotions because to get to where I did and play those first two Senior Finals was an achievement in itself.
00:35I was really happy and I thought I'd put my best foot forward to give myself a chance to play.
00:40So I come out of it happy, I couldn't complain at all.
00:45And what are your goals for this season, Oli?
00:48Well, number one, I just want to play. Hopefully I can stay consistent.
00:53Last year, in the middle of the year, I sort of, not lost my form, but I guess I was struggling a little bit.
00:59So if I can prepare myself better in the pre-season this year, hopefully I can just go all the way through and find success at the end of the year, hopefully.
01:09And what role are you hoping to play for the team?
01:11So hopefully play a similar role I did last year as a small forward.
01:16And be able to push into the midfield for a few minutes and take an opportunity there.
01:22We'll see what happens.
01:23No worries, well best of luck.
